Operational Resilience
The Operational Resilience (OpRes) Workstream is a workstream of the OCP Sustainability Project. Its mission is to advance the operational resilience of data center infrastructure through a dual climate lens, addressing both the impact of climate on data centers and the impact of data centers on the environment. It develops frameworks, climate indices, metrics, and best practices to help data centers maintain reliability and efficiency under climate-related volatility, while driving meaningful reductions in environmental impact through operational efficiency and sustainability.

Operational Resilience (OpRes) is a Workstream under the OCP Sustainability Project.
The workstream’s mission is to advance the operational resilience of data center infrastructure through a dual climate lens, addressing both the impact of climate on data centers and the impact of data centers on the environment. It develops frameworks, climate indices, metrics, and best practices to ensure data centers maintain reliability and efficiency under climate-related volatility, while driving meaningful reductions in environmental impact through operational efficiency and sustainability.
Scope
The workstream focuses on:
Climate Impact on Data Centers — reliability and efficiency under climate-related volatility
Data Center Impact on Climate — meaningful reductions in environmental impact through operational efficiency and sustainability
Frameworks & Indices — frameworks, climate indices, metrics, and best practices for operational resilience
